Thanks a lot Zeynel, thanks to your handy list I'm now learning additional ones.

p.s. Also practical are the shortcuts from plugin https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/nostalgy, such as L for toggle folder pane or G for searching folder

I have added Nostalgy, maybe 2 years late though ;)
